WEBVTT - The Illusion of Justice 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.360 Good morning, Pizza, and welcome to ok F Daily with 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:19.280 Meet your Girl Daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.720 it is woke Wednesday, So congratulations for making it halfway 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.600 through this horrific week. Why do I say horrific week 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.000 because I'm just exhausted when I find myself tweeting on 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.400 a Monday about how sick and fucking tired of Donald 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.280 Trump I am, and how sick and tired I am 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:45.040 of this country, our injustice system continually showing us who 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.200 it was built to protect and who it was built 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:54.120 to in prison, who it was built to ensure their 0:00:54.240 --> 0:01:03.320 continued power, their continued ascension, hile others who are poor, 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:08.479 who are black, who are brown, who are marginalized, remain 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.759 locked inside of an injust system. You see, Folks. You know, 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:18.600 when Donald Trump had his bond reduced so that he 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.720 could appeal the verdict that came out from Judge and 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.120 Goron in the fraud case, I knew that it was 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.240 a setup, right that Donald Trump. The reason why in 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.040 New York City they referred to him as Teplon down 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.039 was because everyone knows that Donald Trump is a criminal. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.720 But everyone knows that if you have enough money and 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.880 you have the complexion for the protection, then you can 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.040 weasele your way out of all of the holes that 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.000 are put inside of the justice system for wealthy white 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.680 men to be able to maneuver. Right, it is the 0:01:53.720 --> 0:02:00.120 illusion right of justice. It is the illusion of lawfulness 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.040 because much in the same way that taxes work for 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.400 the rest of us, but the super rich are able 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.160 to avoid their taxes because if you have enough money 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.480 and you're able to hire the teams that can get 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.960 you out of things, then you do that. Right. What 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.920 did Donald Trump say when he was campaigning back in 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.359 twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, Like, I don't pay taxes 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.400 because I'm too smart for that, meaning that the rest 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.120 of us are fucking chumps and idiots for following the 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.480 tax law because we don't have the bevy of attorneys 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.480 that are on our payroll ready to do and maneuver 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.400 in a way that allows us to be on a 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.800 crime spree for five decades. Right, Like, that's not how 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.120 it works. But you see, everyone fucking knows that about 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.400 Donald Trump. But the system just continually bends because it 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.960 was built to bend for white men and provide the perception, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.200 the illusion the law right, that no one is above 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.560 the law. Bullshit, and fuck you Merrick Garland. Let me 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.080 just go here for a minute before I transition to 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.480 a different story. Fucking Merrick Garland is a piece of 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.840 fucking shit. And you know when people come for me 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.720 and they say, oh, well, you can't articulate things without cursing, bitch, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.680 miss me, Because if you are not angry about the 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.760 current predicament that this country finds itself in because of 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.440 this spinelessness of Merrick Garland, then you're not paying attention. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.000 Because the fact of the matter is, folks, if we 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.840 go back in time and Merrick Garland not even had 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.760 opened up a new investigation, but had picked up the 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.720 fucking Muller report that was left for him on said desk, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:49.080 right to begin prosecuting Donald Trump. Back in twenty twenty one, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.400 we wouldn't even be having this conversation because Donald Trump 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.840 would have been up to his fucking eyebrows right in 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.960 fucking appeals because those cases already been heard. He wouldn't 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.680 have had time to fucking announce that he was running 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.960 for president again. But Meren Garland, because he gave a 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:15.200 shit more right about preserving institution again, the fucking illusions, right. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.400 He made sure that we could all pretend that the 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.120 you know, systems held. The systems did not fucking hold. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.800 The systems have holes in them, The fences are fucking down, right, like, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:34.040 give me a break. The system held. So we're here 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.400 in this position for no other reason. Because here's the thing, folks, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.719 Donald Trump was always going to do what he can 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.840 to escape the fucking law because he's a criminal, and 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.480 that's what criminals do. So you are never going to 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.320 expect somebody like that to ever do better, right, because 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.440 there's no value for them in doing better. The value 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.200 is in the grift. The value is in the lie. Okay. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.120 So when you at higher folks like a Merrick Garland, 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.960 which was a horrific mistake, we all thought that, oh, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.920 maybe Merrick Garland was moving with some type of tenacity 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.520 because of how he was treated by Republicans. But then 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.279 you realize, like, he's just a fucking punk and should 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.320 have never had that job in the first fucking place. 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.800 You know, I wouldn't have even wanted Merrick Garland now 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.919 that we know him on the Supreme Court right to 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.360 what look at and part in parcel like the rule 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.000 of law and want to play foot seas with Alito 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.000 and Thomas and the rest of them. Give me a 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.480 fucking break. Merrick Garland shouldn't have a job right now, Okay, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.279 And if by the grace of God, that Joe Biden 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:49.200 is able to pull off the impossible, up against what 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.800 we are up against in November, and he's able to 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.279 pull it off and get to a second term, I 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.800 do not want fucking Merrick Garland like. I will run 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.960 my own campaign to have Merret Garland fucking removed. He 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.120 is a waste of skin. And we are here because 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.520 he has no backbone. We are here because he had 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.320 no foresight. We are here because he thought that somehow, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:21.520 tradition right was going to outrun criminality. Give me a 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.200 fucking break. I don't know how much more of Donald 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.719 Trump's administration you needed to be front and center for 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.719 to recognize that the rule of law was never going 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.760 to apply to him and he was never going to 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.000 what just wake up one day and find a moral compass. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.880 Give me a fucking break, unless the moral compass was 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.279 crusted with the diamonds, right, and could you be utilized 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.440 for his own whims he ain't looking for it. Okay, 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.120 let me move on before I give myself a heart 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:58.039 attack by raising my blood pressure and yours. The next 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.120 story that I want to talk about is what is 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.760 happening in Missouri State and what just happened with the 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:14.680 Missouri House. Y'all, we all know that Republicans do not 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:21.200 care about people. They don't care about their constituency. But 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:26.360 the Missouri State House really doesn't give a fuck. And 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.080 I'm certain that what they have done will be copycatted. 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.040 I don't even know if that is a word by 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.040 the rest of red states. So this is what they did. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:45.640 They passed a bill that would permanently eliminate income tax 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:55.360 for corporations. This elimination would cost the state nine hundred 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:01.120 million dollars. Now you're going to ask yourself, where are 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.640 they going to fill in that gap nine hundred million dollars, 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:12.880 you know, almost a billion. Well, they're going to raise 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:20.080 taxes on the constituents, regular folks that live there and 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:29.080 cut social safety nets right in order to give corporations welfare. Right, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.199 because I guess, in their twisted, warped mind, what do 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.000 they think they think that they're going to court in 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.120 more corporations to come and then give people jobs. But 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:44.400 the reality is is that those jobs won't provide them, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.800 most likely with the living wages that they need. But 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.520 at least you know they'll have something and something akin 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:59.920 to indentured servitude right to these corporations. But here's the case, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.000 and this is something that Joy Reid posted on her page. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:10.280 One in seven people that live in Missouri are in poverty. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:20.600 One in seven are in poverty. So what you were 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:28.319 going to do is eliminate corporate responsibility as it pertains 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:36.920 to income tax, devastate the conditions that are already rough 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.920 for low income people in your state, which makes up 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:47.440 roughly seventy percent of the state, and then cut the 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:53.480 very programs that those people need so that you can 0:09:53.559 --> 0:10:03.240 continue doing a jig for corporations. So basically, what the 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:13.360 right wants and what they are doing is creating an 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:26.480 entire lead new mechanism for poverty and essentially a third 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:32.439 or fourth class of citizens in this country. So let's 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.559 just run through the things that they have already done. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:44.800 You ban books, You got education, right, You change the 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:49.120 education to not provide critical thinking because you don't want 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:53.960 to educate the very people you're trying to subjugate. You 0:10:54.000 --> 0:11:02.960 indoctrinate them with your perverse version of Christianity, which tells 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.280 them that the harder they work, the closer to God 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.000 that they'll get and justifies their living condition because they'll 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.679 find glory on the other side. This is what this 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.959 perverse version of Christianity does. Then you create a hate 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:24.400 cyclone where everyone now is jockeying for the best low 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.679 level jobs because they don't have the skill set or 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.080 the intellect to get any higher paying jobs. So then 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.760 they turn on their neighbors because there's not enough for 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.559 the rest of us. So you create this and exacerbate 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:44.440 a scarcity mindset also that the rich can get richer, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.400 the poor will get poorer, and you eliminate any illusion 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:53.840 thereof a middle class. How does that sound to everyone? 0:11:54.360 --> 0:12:00.439 Sounds good, sounds nice. Yeah, that's what the Republics are 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.240 doing in all of the Red states right now. And 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:09.679 then if Donald Trump were to become president, they will 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.760 take what they have done in their little Petrie dish states. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:20.280 They will nationalize that. They will essentially suck all of 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:27.600 the resources out of the income generator, which are the 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.920 blue dots in side of Red states. Take away those 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.160 people's power, which they have done readily in Tennessee. We've 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:42.440 talked about this with our friend doctor Jonathan Metzel. Where 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:48.439 you go ahead and finish off the job of gerrymandering 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:53.120 districts to eliminate power and voice and presence while you 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:58.839 suck those very centers of their income. All of this 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:07.240 is about create large poverty centers. So then you're in 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.320 such a hopeless and desperate place that you think that 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:20.160 one man alone can fix it. Sound familiar. Then you 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:26.760 go ahead and you eliminate any signs of diversity, equity, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:31.560 and inclusion so that you lock black and brown people 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:38.360 into further despair, so that then you can continue to 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.480 take advantage of them pay low wages because guess what. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:46.719 You've eliminated unions, You've eliminated safety boards, You've eliminated you know, 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.959 health in human services. You've eliminated all of these things. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.559 You've bought all of the courts, so no one can 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:57.360 actually sue, you know, for their rights. There are no rights. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:05.280 And yeah, and then America looks like, I don't know Russia. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:10.520 So that's the plan. It's not that elaborate, it's not 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.199 even that nuanced. It's the same old, same old, rinse 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.360 and repeat. So when I say and I post messages 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.760 like I did earlier this week where I say that 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.280 I'm fucking done and I'm fucking tired of Donald Trump, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.840 and I'm tired of this bullshit, and recognize and I 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.200 want folks to understand that the courts are not coming 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.720 to save us. The only thing that is going to 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.480 get rid of Donald Trump is the voters. That's it. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.240 Inside of a flawed system, what is flooded with misinformation 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.120 and lies, where only half of the population knows that 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.200 Donald Trump is under four indictments in ninety one charges 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.120 and has already posted, you know, a quarter of a 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:54.600 billion dollars worth of funds and is hawking bibles and 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.600 sneakers all to pay his legal fees. Right, and then 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.400 you give him the final He's to the Kingdom. He's 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.920 never leaving because they will change the constitution, they will 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.600 rip up the Constitution, and Donald Trump will finish the 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.120 job of taking this country for everything that it has, right, 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.280 it's secrets, it's resources, all of those things, so that 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:25.760 he can finalize his ascension to American oligarchy. Folks, This 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.640 is not rocket science, right, So I could give a 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.320 fuck about Biden's age. I could give a fuck about honestly, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.640 And I'm gonna say something which is terrible. If people 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:43.560 who are really angry, grief stricken, depressed and can't continue 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.800 to follow what is happening in Gaza understand that Donald 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:52.880 Trump wants to bulldoze it, right, what is left of Gaza, 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.240 what is left of the Palestinian people, They will have 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.800 no hope and no resources. And I will say again 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.960 that you cannot fight for democracy elsewhere when you lose 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.000 it at home. Right when they say when a plane 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.160 is going down, and they say, put the oxygen mass 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.400 on yourself first, and then go ahead and try and 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.640 help other people. The plane is going down. Democracy is 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.600 going down. So we cannot continue right to say that, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.360 oh well, I'm going to withhold my vote for Joe 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.040 Biden because you have morals. You will have fucking nothing 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:30.840 right after the election, so you can hold on to 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.840 your integrity and your morals until you do what is 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.240 necessary to do, which is get yourself and every fucking 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:41.320 body around you to head to those polls and vote 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.960 for Joe Biden in November. There is no choice here, right, 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.040 There is no higher fucking ground. We are on a 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.240 collision course with authoritarianism. We got one fucking shot at this. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:02.320 So for folks who think that you know, they're going 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.840 to have some type of protests, you can protest in December. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.040 You can protest for the next four fucking years, so 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.000 long as we actually still have democracy, and we can 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.320 put a fucking nail in the coffin right of Maga 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.440 trump Ism and Donald Trump because that's the only thing 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.960 that I give a fuck about for the next several months, 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:29.720 because I'm not giving any energy to these court cases. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.720 I'm not giving any energy to what is happening state 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.200 by state because what I know is one goddamn thing 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:42.480 to be true. Everything that they are doing state by state, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.320 right city by city, flooding the zone. As Steve Bannon said, 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:53.080 they are testing and will be ready with their Project 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.960 twenty twenty five. Their twenty thousand some odd right wing 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:02.280 sycophans that are just waiting and fucking biting for their 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:07.600 opportunity to ruin America and think and then turn around 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.280 and think that Donald Trump is going to reward them 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.520 much in the same way that folks thought that they 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:17.119 could control Hitler and then that motherfucker started killing all 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:22.240 of the people around him. Wake up. Okay, what do 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:27.600 people say? History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. So 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:33.359 notice the patterns. And you know from now until November, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.399 you were going to hear me in ways that you 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.000 have never hear me calling people out in ways that 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.840 I have not called people out. Because we are out 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:47.200 of time. So whatever kind of energy people want to 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.560 get off their chest about Joe Biden, go ahead and 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:54.639 fucking do it. Become November. Understand that you don't have 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.760 a choice, and I don't care how that feels. Fuck 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:03.359 your feelings. Right at this point, we can worry about 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:09.919 how we feel about democracy the Biden administration. Once we 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.840 have secured it, then we can march, we can protest, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.639 we can do all of the things, we can boycott, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.480 we can do the fucking most because we will still 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.399 have the rights as citizens of these United States to 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:31.440 do so. That is it for me today, dear friends, 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:37.000 on this woke Wednesday, My God, I pray we make 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.119 it to the end of the week. We are coming 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:44.240 up on the major eclipse. There's a lot going on, folks. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.280 As always, power to the people and to all the people. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.120 Power get woke and stay woke as fuck.
